Episode #44 Achieving Better Surgical Outcomes with Dr. Elizabeth Raskin

Dr. Elizabeth Raskin is a trailblazing integrative surgeon who is combining nutritional guidance, mind-body techniques, and cutting-edge robotics to change surgical care. Dr. Raskin's journey into medicine was marked by a deep curiosity about the interconnectedness of the human body, mind, and spirit. As a result, she has become a pioneer in the field of integrative surgery, a discipline that embraces a holistic approach to healing. In this conversation, Drs. Weil, Maizes, and Raskin discuss how inexpensive and widely-available mind-body techniques, such as breathwork and meditation, are being used to prepare patients mentally and emotionally for surgery, leading to faster recoveries. Dr. Raskin discusses how the foods we eat can play a pivotal role in both preventing and recovering from illness and surgery. We also delve into integrative medicine's philosophy of patient-centered care, where the individual is seen as a whole, unique person rather than a collection of symptoms. You won't want to miss this insightful look at the future of surgical care.
